"We knew one year ago the positions we wanted to reinforce in the team and we did it, " said Soriano. "We have a new right-back, a new holding midfielder, and we will have a new central defender and that's it. We don't need to sign new players for the sake of it."

City won the Premier League and League Cup last season but Soriano believes the club can have a more successful campaign this time around.

"Our squad is very strong and it's the second year they play coached by Manuel Pellegrini, so they'll do much better," he said.
